Inside the mind of Digital Igloo!

DI's said a bazillion times they are no longer talking about things in the pipeline for down the road. So no surprise on nothing like that getting mentioned in the article.

Glad I’m not jaded like you.

It was a fun read. Cool story about a great guy who goes above and beyond his “job” due to his passion and love for the industry and his products (and dare I say customers). Heaven forbid he get a little well deserved praise.

I heard DI held their pre-order hostage until the author only wrote flattering things.

Are you absolutely sure about that?

And when reading an article that is largely about the future development of a platform I might invest some money into (right now I wouldn't, for some reasons), I'd rather read about something truly exciting that might be on the future roadmap.

That's the best way to let competitors screw you and get fired. Suicide marketing, they call it.

I'm not talking about exact details.

What would be an example of what you'd find interesting without sharing dangerous details?

I pray the Stadium ships soon so we won’t have to endure this much longer.

Eric getting some shine is really cool imo.

"We're working on advanced sound manipulating techniques that could take your sound design to new, synth-alike levels." Just as one example.
Besides, they have given away other things way in advance already, too.

The article was more about certain technical specs of DI the person, not necessarily Line 6 products. It was a good read.

I'd rather read something about ideas regarding future development. That'd be interesting to me.

Reading it's "not a Helix with a touchscreen" doesn't really mean much to me, because from a user's POV that's basically what it is.
No, of course it's not, there's improved amp modeling and some other things making your Helix life easier. Fwiw, personally, I find the output mixer to be a most excellent idea, other seem to drool about Focus view and what not.

So, would I like some better sounding amps? Sure. And would I love the touchscreen along with the encoders for editing instead of having to deal with an editor? You bet I would.

But all of that is pretty much along the "expectable evolution", not causing too much excitement, at least not for me.

I guess that’s why I didn’t mind I have zero interest in that or the other multi fx modelling stuff.

I agree

I see. I dunno, to me that would be like saying nothing but to each their own.
